Default CJ Motorsports or AAM Return Fuel System

Any thoughts on the better fuel system? CJM Stage I or II, or AAM. I'm looking for 400 rwhp.

From your post you seem like you do your research, I would look at both kits, their quality, the R&D put into them, and what componets you get. After you look at both kits you will know which one is better. And if you want my opinion....



the site to order it from is www.cj-motorsports.com

Good luck with your research!

I have the CJ stage 1 , I prefer the use of rubber coated SS lines as opposed to exposed SS which can abraid neighboring lines/hoses if not carefully tied down. I also prefer the look of the CJ fuel rails.

the CJ motorsports fuel system is more heavy duty than the AAM one. The AAM one might look slightly more bling with some of the SS lines showing, but the CJM system is that plus a few more layers of kevlar (or was it something else?) covering the SS lines. So the lines don't look as pretty, but it'll be more likely not not burst or leak should a disaster happen. The rails look awesomet though

Thanks for your responses.

don't need a 3 inch dual exhaust with only 7 lbs of boost, but you probably already know that

+1 for CJM
The two systems are almost identical so you really can't go wrong with either one.

I agree both systems will more then take care of your needs but I am personally going with CJM with the hopes that it will still be easily upgradeable to a twin pump setup. I'm going to need two pumps in the next year or so..

BTW, if you prefer the stainless lines, just let Charles know when you order and he can provide them that way to you.
